Stocking Up

<p>Can you tell I had fun <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/04/rockin-fridayliterally.html">last night playing Rock Band</a>? :)</p> <p>I had a wonderful wake up call from my Mom. Her and my Step Dad have a lawn business and were going to be spraying yards today and wanted to know if we wanted ours sprayed! Of course I said yes! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv31hkHXFXnvi3Yoh1A5NbGpdlEC-OplQTEuEZSGMXBqGDnhtWI0wWTnPZawCFHhCgU1uPBa-2S07agY-1KsZsT2xUTCELOIyApPdWZjG-TtimukksdRxlJY3zBRZZ8UyJ6ZMZnTDXmyFd/s1600-h/DSC06995%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06995" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSFmo2qQiEsAuWyJsDXgZ6CKOLeHn8JfgtY18yb5d8UZwm6KMGD9isyY0-qaWKxSYd9lI9yLGpZLDpTRF6kmLgzq3P7S9sk4JE3JHx1jSh0ykSSn1PVq9Dg2C7syPkHegHrTesemayTtJP/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06995" width="404" /></a></p> <p>For their kindness I made them breakfast! This was my servings,<strong> ff pancakes</strong> with<strong> ff Cool Whip</strong> & <strong>strawberries</strong> for <strong>5 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqzIshwqT2K8otWoYkMhHKXIGJYYrN1bGaw6qNipoBRj-dQWQzBb2w8yo2NDM6nHPi3Mq-JGMVGw0088LOOkayQ-oxKb3cPGBXZ2-wxuCPt5O1yM3iPBWDyqnStGyOClv9cxcedljjSe_0/s1600-h/DSC06994%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06994" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPRPSv4StY8lDE4AcNyQz_v7dw0MZwZtlubBEXGrS7t3P66b-tvYM4RSfXs0jUJT9R3wSUTdHECTtYiK9aeoxe-975YhdPORneGFCIhlQioqcTj4O6pv0fiUA0Ng-VBsFkSa_kbdKKpV5T/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06994" width="404" /></a></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p>After they headed out I started laundry and worked out our <strong>menu planner</strong> for the week. The last time I did one was in February! I think it is <strong><u>key</u></strong> to be able to stay on track!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEM2ZILWZzKb6OpIb2qHu8yS9h09OLe5oud92gv2GlcegfZVgC2daVaNWW9IvybSBccHrma6pp8xcJr0y77xL5_ZK-P9aLrvPADkGA0uZTAX7r30kHzKzMfDD7OaBEf4iGKg7yxNwF12uw/s1600-h/DSC06997%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC06997" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjahdkVRbUT6BwdU3p-sGy7UBFjQuhLh9LYPzMPHqJFpJdqrTaRT3oXCZaX33phWKvy_rNYKB6lgHG4GjWOTzqnmGN-EH2we4sb9DLCO-5NU_ve1Qs4ifEDtWQdJBsiD6A56qJp3dVsvpRT/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC06997" width="404" /></a></p> <p>Did any of catch the center piece on my table in the background? I put this together with sand & shells from our <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/03/fun-filled-florida-day-3.html">Florida trip</a>.

We got in <strong>5.25 miles</strong> [a tad slow…but I think it’s partly because I talked for almost the whole time!]. It was a great run!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqEj4s-rF80kF54r3Ef_VAgrcR9kkdeP-hQBmWyJ6hfmIwWZIilsPTeKpl1BTxolijP05R6-IUK7t2HxtVddrbCz4_VlxCISRaEktIFkRBT6fHV2fzAGrQKun03ybXmHuCFd0UDoXHFiK/s1600-h/DSC07000%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07000" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzE9dmV3EFGDhuuuPP9DhqTNzE01JYJtnYcl1Jb1QXTUdpwfT2ZnUsMPHJkP2Wh8tsvwbOy1cB9rlVs7qwvxPZ2-hiyiUQtig99chRZtba4X-SRfNnq4_Vof2CaoXlSQCSDxkryLDq6NG/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07000" width="404" /></a></p> <p>After our run I made us matching to-go <strong>protein smoothies</strong>! In the blender was <strong>3c strawberries</strong>,<strong> 1 scoop protein powder</strong>, <strong>banana</strong>, <strong>1/4c milk</strong>, and <strong>ice</strong>. My half was <strong>3 points</strong>. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLreXFdTNgrTYSljx3Lan8EUSWUBZRMqlUDvrzzmouSkzf7KzkdMl8Ew2RBiBqZIzfQAhhXzplL9OoH4X4_SIRCr2aPDwVIIlP5RViYH9TY0itNehtUzF60Sn-KZCQFm3WVJkHsKte8G-J/s1600-h/DSC07002%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07002" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcLwaxoQJrPP4iVxxpDqNVkOEXCZYH1JpgQ0oVsQYkxJ8MJ_7sDX5YaMQpTDKEPCfvFk5eJXD2SaCAAXeYFQSIqpstI9JcUZQQ8zprQuj9UKSEG7jm7NmJ0SwCquzmxPIyY7cenUYgiBGZ/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07002" width="404" /></a></p> <p>We took our protein smoothies to go because we took a short road trip to<strong> Sam’s Club </strong>to stock up on a few essentials. We also bought a small chest freezer….but not thinking we brought our car and not the SUV and the freezer didn’t fit in the back seat!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxVJfFetrBluNXKyY_Skvd8QDakWzDvmhEtu_Fs0_bZhD9y25eMfsAAJyULzj4aRkK2kp8Eb_ThDmgke-mECHgPMjiTSTrc5aSLMPp3npATX1ju5Xc_4bIqxwxW6428PXtZR4dz31lFtT/s1600-h/DSC07003%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07003" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgImXijFCYrbM2L0NfBKRtCZ0DJ0yDd5xwO2IOgRcsSPBHzMhOAFq4JdL6eo5Y06Hag4NojtNTG3qjj9Nz4V7xC5FDgYtKNqyJvyoeeJjdEIGWVgDDZiaaEQjOUNnxBGQa-7rh5wUau0bEK/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07003" width="404" /></a></p> <p>We ended up returning the freezer since it didn’t fit. Out of curiosity [for some reason] I called Lowes [across the street] to see what their price was and they were $20 cheaper <strong><u>and</u></strong> they have free delivery to our town! I told Kyle I think the Sam’s Club freezer wasn’t meant to be so we could save some $$!</p> <p>Speaking of saving $$ I loved all of your ideas of why we are <a href="http://weightloss-stories.blogspot.com/2010/04/to-verify-or-not.html">tightening up our budget belts</a>. But no I am not pregnant and we’re not moving! You’ll just have to wait & see! ;)</p> <p>I tested out the new <strong>90 calorie Fiber One bars</strong>. They are only <strong>1 point</strong> and the flavor was peanut butter chocolate…good stuff! :)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbemybfUQHy4S81rRLRnsjJfeTrxWAsST223tTYEYMF9anSc54pnk__XIvU4iDw6fT78vZAS-CmlnumQVMVntVbivTx_tuW1R8d1Wx9ysp8XNzF2cnF3VNnOii7gqRsz4dwPf7A-B3WJoe/s1600-h/DSC07005%5B3%5D.jpg"><img alt="DSC07005" border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIojozT4zoPvOkOnQh-Dkhyphenhyphenm0rSbp-5bFhFkOQzD7cUFsxnpNFQnAbkJ26Bq7Hrq52Taubl2g-3Mjq461uO8nGWZ9jBTMpKSOHufJ6Tx5Bhu2sxHuc151inSfnAvRxCUwysYTKqbfrd6W-/?imgmax=800" style="border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-bottom: 0px" title="DSC07005" width="404" /></a></p> <p>We went simple, healthy, and cheap for supper…Subway!
